Oceanic islands are ecosystems characterised by unique biodiversity and high sensitivity to environmental impacts, and are therefore recognised as priority areas for conservation and monitoring studies. However, the growing anthropogenic pressures (e.g., intensive tourism, pollution by xenobiotics, and the effects of climate change) have increasingly threatened these environments. In Braz…
Ucides cordatus is an endemic species, abundant and very commercially exploited in mangroves, with ecological relevance by acting in several cases. Modulates the availability of resources and therefore adapts to abiotic and biotic variables in which it in (AU)
This study aims to evaluate contamination of water, sediment, vegetation and the uçá-crab by heavy metals in five mangroves of the São Paulo State, and to analyze the genotoxic impact on populations of this crustacean, based on the frequency of micronuclei cells. Mangroves are Permanent Preservation Areas (PPAs) and nurseries for many species, including the uçá-crab, which is widely marke…

Freshwater crabs are decapods highly specialized for survival in freshwater environments and play a relevant ecological role in nutrient cycling and the maintenance of food chains. The Trichodactylidae family represents one of the main groups of crustaceans in the Atlantic Forest, a severely fragmented biome that harbors a diversity of aquatic environments, such as blackwater streams and …
The Atlantic Forest harbors a rich network of freshwater environments that support high biodiversity and provide ecosystem services. Along the coast, the naturally acidic and oligotrophic blackwater streams of the restinga ecosystem stand out, as do temporary environments such as shallow and highly variable roadside ditches. These contrasting hydrological scenarios can shape the ecology a…
The Atlantic Forest is a Brazilian coastal biome that harbors diverse ecosystems, including freshwater environments. Among these, blackwater streams stand out, with higher acidity and lower nutrient content, as well as shallow temporary environments, such as roadside ditches, with significant physicochemical variation. Concomitantly, these environments are subject to the increasing influe…

Mangroves are ecosystems of extreme importance to coastal regions. Still, they are being severely affected by increasing human population density and associated activities, negatively impacting both the environment and biota. Given this, environmental monitoring tools are essential to understand these environmental damages. Recently, decapod crustaceans have been used as sentinel species …
Johngarthia lagostoma (H. Milne Edwards, 1837) is a land crab of family Gecarcinidae, endemic to oceanic islands, and considered a key species of great ecological relevance. Currently, its distribution is restricted to four islands in the Atlantic Ocean: Fernando de Noronha, Atol das Rocas, Ascensão, and Trindade. Recent evaluations have indicated the species is under threat of extinction…
The yellow crab Johngarthia lagostoma (H. Milne Edwards, 1837) is a brachyuran crab endemic on oceanic islands, acting as top predator and key species in these environments. Your worldwide distribution is restricted to four islands in Atlantic Ocean: Fernando de Noronha, Atol das Rocas, Ascension and Trindade. At this moment, the fill studies about biology and distribution of J. lagostoma…
